mastodon longtimers are grieving the influx of people to the party which I need to take seriously as one of the influxers. figure out how to socialize to the culture/priorities here before blundering forward.

@jnonfiction Much appreciated, I wish more people approached it that way!
I'd recommend just hanging around for a while until the influx dies down, to get a first-hand impression of the general vibe and norms. There's only so much that can be explained in words, of course, and there's always a lot of nuance in a community-run place.
This may be helpful for the topic of CWs, at least: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/109314119359875097
The most important thing, really, is to proactively keep an eye out for the needs of vulnerable folks on here, who have no other place to go. As long as you do that, things will work out fine, and people won't mind missteps :)

@joepie91 I really appreciate this guidance, and your most important thing resonates with my own intuition-- that the needs of the vulnerable take priority here, which, good!
